Hi, Mine says: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main contrib non-free When I first started to try to get xorg 7.0 a few weeks ago, the xorg->x-window-system->x-window-system-core dependency list was missing a few things here and there, so tried to get what I could and waited for each update to see what was added. Now with IIRC 7.0.3 or 7.0.4, the xorg packages seem nearly complete. There were a few things like: new locations for font files, missing font pacakges, missing gl or mesa dependencies and other as of yet unknown changes/transitions that may need to be completed or fixed but as of 7.0.4, it seems very close to becoming an 'unstable' packages.
